Chapter 10: Ash's Father

"Sir, you have embarrassed me like this. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" When the butler heard this, he really seemed to have a somewhat embarrassed expression: "Do you have anything to say in person? ”

"I just promised my employer that I would deliver the letter to him personally. Carnett reluctantly showed off his Demon Hunter badge: "Look at my right eye and badge, this will prove my identity." ”

"Was it a commission from a demon hunter...... "The butler really knew how to do it, and he could see it at a glance. So he thought about it for a moment, and finally compromised: "That's fine." Since it's a witcher's job, we don't want to embarrass you. Come on, follow me to your lordship. ”

Surprisingly easy to speak, so Canette really felt a little unexpected.

He patted Al on the head and told her not to go far, and followed the butler into the house.

As soon as the Dire Pony waited for him to leave, he couldn't wait to run away to play.

The butler took Canette straight up to the third floor. The room was so quiet that even Canette couldn't help but let go of his footsteps.

A house of this size is usually cleaned by a servant, but I didn't see it along the way. It seemed like it was lunchtime, and they all went to eat - for they could only hear the smell of the kitchen and dining room because of the smell.

"This is the adult's room. The butler sent Canette to a room on the third floor, turned sideways, and faced Canette: "Please." ”

"Oh, good. "Although I inexplicably felt that the atmosphere here was a little tense, I didn't think much about it at first. There was a knock on the door.

"Please come in. Soon, he heard an invitation from inside the house.

Opening the slightly old door, Canette stepped inside. There was only one middle-aged silver-haired man sitting in the room, his expression seemed a little haggard. And it looks really busy.

This can basically be identified as Ash's father, because he is also silver-haired.

He had a small cup in his hand, and the coffee in it seemed to be cold for a long time. On the other side is the amulet dedicated to the Holy Sect of Light and Shadow.

Regardless of the faction, the paladins must use amulets of light and shadow, which can more easily channel the magic of both attributes.

"Hello, Demon Hunter. Looking at Cannet's magic eye, the paladin understood what he meant. Carnet responded politely, and after closing the door behind him, he sat down opposite the paladin.

"I'm here to deliver the letter. Canette took out the letter straightforwardly, not thinking of nonsense: "This is your daughter Ash asked me to send it, saying that I must deliver it to you personally." ”

"Good work. The man's expression seemed to be a little helpless. He took the letter and stared at it for a while before shaking his head and putting it down: "Why don't you eat here before leaving?" It's noon. ”

"Thank you for the hospitality, but that's about that later. "Canette wasn't going to leave now, because he had something to ask. Considering that the question might not go well, he deliberately borrowed Ash's name: "Your daughter wants to know why you didn't receive the first few letters? ”

"Oh, I guessed she's in a hurry. The man was silent for a moment, as if considering how to say better: "This ...... I don't know why. ”

"Well, I didn't receive the letter. Canette deliberately repeated it, but then his face became serious again: "Sir, although I don't know why, there is a reason why you did not reply after receiving the letter. ”

"Oh...... Your ideas are interesting. The paladin smiled and pressed his hand to the letter that had just been delivered, "But it's not like that. ”

Although he couldn't read what was going on in the paladin's heart, Canette could sense that the paladin's emotions were conflicted and helpless.

People of faith are not easily perceived emotionally. So more complex emotions are not sensible. But......

Over the years that Canette has been hunting demons outside, it is as if the mind-reading ability of the Demon Eye has been absorbed into his body, and he can guess some things that originally had no evidence based on intuition and inference.

And after being questioned by the other party, if you can decide that what you are asking is okay, you can claim that you read it by yourself, and it is recommended that the other side do not try to quibble.

Demon hunters are always convincing and oppressive when they say this.

It's just that once you say something wrong, your words will lose credibility significantly.

So, what to do? Canette hesitated: Stop it? The Shadow Knight meant to suggest that I do the same.

As he watched the ragged Aiya, who had just fainted and had just fainted, gobbling up the first bowl of ramen, Manus reached out and touched the girl's head helplessly.

Aya seemed startled, shrunk and shivered.

She was still looking at him with wariness and horror. And the bowl he was holding was empty.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I don't know what you've suffered out there, but it's safe here. The man stood up, served another bowl of noodles for Aya, and smiled lovingly: "Come, eat more." ”

To make the ramen even more delicious, Manus conjured up a small bottle with magic seasoning and sprinkled it evenly. And after Aiya timidly took the noodles, she almost choked on them because she felt so delicious after eating the first bite.

"Take your time, don't rush. Manus looked at Aya quietly and tried to ask, "What's your name, child?"

"......" Aya hesitated for a moment, but whispered, "Luna." ”

Lucina's old name was only one syllable away.

Lucina had always been obsessed with good food because she hadn't eaten anything good in prison. She always longed for the holidays, because then at least the jailers would give them something to eat. What impressed her the most was that she was once secretly stuffed with a piece of candy by a jailer's sister.

The sweet taste made her tongue pleasantly surprised. Then she hid it, licked it a little every day, and ate it for a long time. The other jailers seemed to find out, but turned a blind eye.

Although the big sister only came once and then stopped coming, it was one of the few warmth Lucina had ever felt. This particularly impressed her.

This is probably one of the reasons why she regarded sweetness as her life later.
